A selection of poetry and prose from the life of Miriam de Uriarte, spanning two countries and cultures, two languages, and two centuries. A citizen of the United States and Mexico, having spent half of her life in each country, her writing expresses this experience. Through her poetic sensibility, emerge cultural, historical, and personal themes.
"Dive into Pulling Bones by Miriam de Uriarte and you will become immersed in layers of history soaked with longing for a past that can be recovered only through imagination. In poems and stories, de Uriarte writes of dislocations, journeying to and from a homeland, living across borders. She brings a lifetime of learning and travel to her exploration of personal themes and cultural prehistory. With sensual, dream-like imagery de Uriarte invites you to join her in a world inhabited by animals, spirits, and ancestors."
